00:00 The natural animal world is rich and filled with interesting things.
00:12 The fierce battles for survival still take place every day.
00:17 In particular, the most bloodthirsty assassins are mature and aggressive lions.
00:23 The lion cub is known as the king of all species.
00:27 Nearly any prey can escape its claws.
00:32 However, when the lion encounters the kudu, a gentle agile herbivore with sharp strong
00:40 horns, what will happen?
00:42 Can you predict it?
00:44 Let's find out the answer in today's video.
00:49 Lion attacks antelope kudu.
00:55 In the dense groves, kudu antelope is eating the young shoots, but still watch out for
01:01 the danger lurking.
01:03 Especially the lion, its biggest enemy, but whatever comes will come.
01:10 These lionesses are hunting.
01:12 They hope to bring back plenty of food for the whole flock.
01:17 Once the target is a stray kudu antelope, the lions will divide and surround the prey.
01:23 The closer it gets to the kudu, the more gently it has to act so as to not be detected by
01:29 its prey.
01:32 With great wisdom and ingenuity, a lion attacked the kudu.
01:37 The rest of the pack also rushed to knock over the bait and keep it suffocated.
01:42 Despite the kudu's last hold, the lion ended the hunt with a resounding success.
01:48 The lion's fatal attack took less than 5 minutes.
01:53 Usually in a herd, the female lion will keep the task of hunting, while the male lion will
02:00 protect the cubs and watch out for predators.
02:03 Obviously in this hunt, the lions are taking advantage of the majority.
02:08 This is not fair to the kudu, but the hunts of lions are not only possible, it is not
02:18 by chance that the lion is known as the best assassin on the savannah.
02:25 In the vast grasslands of Africa's Mazai Mara Park, a lion is hunting alone.
02:32 It needs to find a suitable target to be able to take down its prey quickly and easily.
02:38 The stray kudu was caught in the lion's sight.
02:42 Usually lions will choose to hide and camouflage in tall dry grass.
02:48 However here is a large field and there is no place to hide.
02:53 Lions had to change tactics.
02:56 Very quickly it crouched down to the ground to camouflage, gradually approaching its prey.
03:02 When it got close enough, it quickly pounced on the kudu.
03:07 The lion shoves and bites the prey's neck, holding it long enough to suffocate and die.
03:15 The hunt quickly ended and brought back the spoils for the lioness.
03:19 As could be seen, lions are very intelligent, able to calculate and change strategies quickly,
03:26 in accordance with the situation.
03:29 It must also be recognized that it has strong teeth, very good grip to be able to knock
03:35 down a kudu that is many times larger than itself so quickly.
03:40 But does the lion always win?
03:45 In fact, lions cannot maintain a fast running speed for a long period of time.
03:51 Meanwhile the kudu antelope is a species with strong running strength, fast speed and endurance,
03:57 along with the ability to jump high and far.
04:01 In some cases, the kudu can escape a lion's chase.
04:06 If not chosen at the right time, the lion will also unfortunately lose this attractive
04:10 prey.
04:11 Therefore the lion's kudu antelope hunting is not entirely easy.
04:16 But on the contrary, it also has to try and use a lot of techniques to get the expected
04:22 results.
04:28 In the chase with the lion, the kudu must try to achieve high running speed and make
04:32 long leaps to escape from the predator.
04:35 With its leap, this kudu antelope has been able to distance itself further from the lion,
04:41 having more opportunity to escape from the hunt of the king of all species.
04:51 But this antelope was not so lucky.
04:53 In the thick grass, it was noticed by the lion, amidst the siege and pursuit of the
04:58 lion.
04:59 The kudu seems to have no way out.
05:02 Despite the antelope struggling, the lions were sure of the victory when they firmly
05:08 pinned and bit the neck of the prey, causing it to suffocate and die.
05:19 The ill-fated kudu became a filling meal for the lions.
05:23 In this situation, the antelope is clearly vulnerable to the predator, it is alone, while
05:28 the lions dominate in the majority.
05:37 In their hunting trips, lions need to use a lot of energy to chase, perform attacks,
05:42 hold and bite prey long enough to destroy it.
05:47 This male lion was exhausted after killing a kudu antelope.
05:51 It needs to rest and breathe to regain its strength before eating its prey and other
05:56 members of the herd.
05:59 To increase the success rate of the hunt, lions often spend a lot of time stalking prey.
06:06 It needs to track to determine the location of the prey, the distance and carefully calculate
06:12 each step before attacking.
06:16 Attacking and stalking prey is pretty much the key to a lion's success.
06:21 Once it gets close enough and starts attacking, it will be difficult for prey to escape its
06:25 claws like this kudu antelope.
06:28 The lion is also a good swimmer, it found the opportunity to attack the kudu while the
06:33 animal was drinking water in the riverbed, without any warning.
06:38 Only the approach strategy is different, the lion's fatal blow is still to bite the neck
06:42 and suffocate the prey.
06:45 In the end, the kudu antelope was also unable to survive against these notorious hunters.
06:59 Herbivores often rely only on running to escape from carnivores.
07:03 Meanwhile lions also have outstanding skills and intelligence amongst the animals, giving
07:08 them a great advantage to their hunts.
07:11 Therefore most of the hunts of lions with kudu antelopes are not fair.
07:19 So it is clear that as long as there is a fight, the antelope will almost be defeated
07:24 by the lion.
07:27 Nature has created dispertories and let species live, forage and maintain balance in nature.
